Photoshoot

Labels: , , , | at 3:30 PM

I have good news and bad news!

First the bad: I've been a bit under the weather for the past 2 days, so that's why I've been unmotivated to do outfit posts. 

But the good news is that my tripod arrived yesterday, so I can take my own pictures now. And the other good news is that a couple days ago, James and I did a little photoshoot with some of my favorite outfits. And this time I've actually edited the photos a bit - we took these in the evening, so the lighting was starting to disappear. I brightened up the colors and lighting a bit on my computer. So enjoy!








We got totally eaten by mosquitos while taking these pictures, lol!

What I'm Wearing - 8/8/10

Labels: , , , , , , , , | at 4:48 PM

morning
73 F, rainy

afternoon
90 F, sunny

The weather can change so drastically in one day in Chicago!

I was sick yesterday, so today my mom stopped by and made chicken noodle soup for me. =] I went to the gym in the morning, and spent the rest of the day cleaning my apartment and doing homework. So I wore something that was comfortable, and wore my boots because it was wet outside. And not a lot of makeup, except some peach lipgloss. 






shirt: boutique (fashion tomato)
shorts: charlotte russe
boots: steve madden
bracelet: can't remember!
earrings: pink ice
hairband: urban outfitters

These shorts that I'm wearing barely fit me a few months ago. I had been put on some medication, and it made me gain 10 pounds! I was constantly hungry! So my doctor added another medication that has the side effect of reduced appetite, and that fixed the problem. But now I was 10 pounds heavier, and my clothes barely fit. =[

So I've been working out a lot, and after 2 1/2 months I'm back to where I was before. I just need to tone up a little bit now. But my shorts are loose and comfy again. 

Also, another thing arrived in the mail!
...........

a plaid vintage jumper that I purchased off etsy!
(Please excuse my lack of make-up. I had just gotten out of the shower, and wanted to try it on as soon as possible.)

It's from the 80's, I believe, and I think it's adorable. I'm so obsessed with plaid. I'm excited about this because so far I don't have very many vintage pieces in my wardrobe, and I'm trying to fix that. So... yay!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and a good start to their week!

xoxo, alexandra

The sun came back today! I tried taking a picture in a different location with the self-timer on my camera, but it didn't turn out well. I'm going to ask my parents for a tripod for my birthday so that I can vary my photo locations. Until then though, I'm stuck taking mirror pictures. =/

Backzies!

Labels: , , , | at 12:41 AM

Wow, it feels good to blog again! Not like anyone really has been following this anyway, but I got busy over the past few weeks with various obligations~ schoolwork, group projects, learning to ride a motorcycle, sorority formal, etc.

To ease back into things, I'll share an outfit I wore a couple weeks ago that I happened to photograph. I was in a rather bohemian mood. Enjoy!




















shirt: vintage (rustyzipper.com)
jeans: BDG (urban outfitters)
boots: steve madden
jacket: romeo and juliet couture (gift)
earrings and ring: gifts

What I'm Wearing - 4/9/10

Labels: , , , , , | at 7:45 PM


50 F
Class
 This is an outfit I wear on a very casual day, when I'm feeling kind of lazy. It's not exactly on the cutting edge of fasion, but the floral details, my signature riding boots, and some chunky necklaces add some character to an otherwise ordinary outfit.

jeans: urban outfitters
cami: macy's
cardigan: ann taylor loft
necklaces: juicy couture and local boutique (fashion tomato)
boots: steve madden
 



You can't tell very well from the picture, but my make-up is purple toned. A lavender eyeshadow and purple eyeliner make my brown eyes pop and keep my face looking bright, instead of blending into the beige tones of the outfit.


Hair is back in a braided bun, held with a hair fork from 60th St.  

coat: vintage j.crew (hand-me-down from my mom)
scarf: gift from friend

I've had a full schedule lately, due to school and some busy weekends spent helping my boyfriend find a place to live. After over a month of searching, he's finally found a place! I'm hoping that I'll get back on schedule with blogging now that a decision has been reached and that things have settled down. =]
